REMASTERED 3CD CLAMSHELL BOXED SET ANTHOLOGY FEATURING ALL THE RECORDINGS BY DARRYL WAY’s WOLF - FEATURING DARRYL WAY, JOHN ETHERIDGE AND IAN MOSLEY. INCLUDES THE ALBUMS ‘CANIS LUPUS’, ‘SATURATION POINT’ AND ‘NIGHT MUSIC’. WITH TEN BONUS TRACKS DRAWN FROM SINGLES AND THE BAND’S PERFORMANCE ON BBC RADIO’s IN CONCERT IN JUNE 1973. REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL DERAM MASTER TAPES. INCLUDES AN ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET WITH ESSAY. Wolf was formed in late 1972 by former Curved Air member Darryl Way following his departure from that group. The band featured John Etheridge on guitar, Dek Messecar on bass and Ian Mosley on drums and began primarily as an instrumental band, showcasing the considerable electric violin, viola and keyboard playing talents of Darryl Way. Signing to Decca’s Deram imprint in 1973, their debut album, ‘Canis Lupus’, featured former King Crimson saxophonist Ian McDonald in the role of both producer and guest musician. Wolf’s follow up album, ‘Saturation Point’, continued to explore the fusion of rock with classical and jazz overtones. Becoming a popular attraction on the college rock scene, Way sought to expand the musical horizons of the group still further by recruiting vocalist John Hodgkinson, formerly with jazz- rock outfit If. With this line-up the band took on a new lease of life as was evidenced both on stage and on the outstanding 1974 album ‘Night Music’, arguably Wolf’s finest achievement. Wolf finally disbanded in late 1974 when Darryl Way joined a reformed incarnation of Curved Air. Dek Messecar later joined Caravan in 1976 while John Etheridge joined Soft Machine and Ian Mosley became an in- demand session player and later joined Marillion. ‘Cadenza – The Complete Recordings’ features all three albums recorded by Wolf, along with all of their singles, newly remastered from the original Deram master tapes. The set also includes a previously unreleased performance for BBC Radio’s In Concert series recorded in June 1973 and includes an illustrated booklet with essay.
